Please help!?!?!?! we are stumped!?!?!?!

[03whipple]

I just dropped a valve in my 03 Cobra and we are in the process of putting her back together- we just put the heads on and put the cams in and the cams are "GT supercar cams" we don't have any specs or anything about them and need to get the duration, install centerline, and such to degree the cams- we have called Ford racing, and Comp cams, and they don't know either- I've looked ALL OVER THE INTERNET and I've got nothing!?!?!?! please help me if you have any info on this matter. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also...... We bought a Cloyes timing chain set and they told us to leave out the cam tensioners bc its in better time if you do!?!?! (or something like that) What do you think about that??????

dropping a valve in a 03/04 Cobra CAN NOT be fun!!!

 

[03whipple]

[03whipple]

no no its not- its quite expensive actually-

 

[miss2slocoupe]

and im guessing you have a whipple too?

I would set them up dot-to-dot and see where the centerlines are. You can measure the lift/duration then, and then put the centerlines where you want them.

A far as leaving out tensioners, I wouldn't do that. If I'm understanding you correctly, that is.

Don't leave the tensioners out, for the love of God and all that is holy!!

Are you also asking for help on getting the valve back in the head as well? It's do-able if you have extreme patience and haven't rolled the engine over at all yet (risk of bending the valve)

You said you have the cloyes timing chain set? Which kit does it consist of? Does it have the adjustable secondary gears or an adjustable primary gear or both? Also, what about the crank gears. Are you running a stock or adjustable?

As far as some Gt cam specs. Pulled these from my files.

Ford GT Cam Specs:

• Intake: 197 deg duration 0.466 LIFT
• Exhaust: 197 deg duration 0.456 LIFT
• 114 deg lobe separation
